Great Britain’s Jemma Reekie said she had learned “a good lesson” before the Paris Olympics after winning World Athletics Indoor Championship 800m silver in front of her home crowd to clinch her first major medal.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Scot, 25, was backed by passionate support in Glasgow but initially looked disappointed after clocking two minutes 2.72 seconds, behind Ethiopia’s champion Tsige Duguma.<\/p>\n

It came after GB’s women’s 4x400m relay quartet, which included twin sisters Laviai and Lina Nielsen, won bronze.<\/p>\n

Ama Pipi and Jessie Knight brought GB home in a national record of 3:26.36.<\/p>\n

Those results meant the hosts ended the three-day championships fifth in the medal table with four medals, following golds for Josh Kerr and Molly Caudery<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Reekie did not initially show much emotion, despite achieving the breakthrough medal she had long sought.<\/p>\n

“To be honest, when I stood on that line I was only going to accept gold,” Reekie told BBC Scotland.<\/p>\n

“But I’ve got to put it in perspective. It’s my first senior medal and it was a hard race. They had obviously done their research and it was a good lesson for me. It leaves good things to practise for the summer.<\/p>\n

“I wanted that gold and that’s the way I’ve always been. I keep on saying ‘be happy, be happy’. But I genuinely stood on that line not prepared to accept anything else.”<\/p>\n

Rapidly improving Briton Georgia Bell narrowly missed out on a medal with a fourth-placed finish in the women’s 1500m, running 4:03.47 as Ethiopia’s Freweyni Hailu took gold.<\/p>\n

Britain’s Revee Walcott-Nolan was sixth in 4:04.60, while in the men’s final Adam Fogg was 14th in 3:43.81.<\/p>\n

Cindy Sember placed seventh in 7.92 seconds in a women’s 60m hurdles final in which the Bahamas’ Devynne Charlton set a world record of 7.65.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
